RENAISSANCE ARTISTS AND ARTWORK

The purpose of this blog is to get to know the artists of the Renaissance and their artwork. When completed this blog will serve as a valuable tool in studying the Renaissance period and the artists. Please go to the link below and explore the various artists and their artwork. Many of the most important Renaissance regions are covered with great detail on the artist and their masterpiece. Your task is to select and artist and write a short biography (2 paragraph minimum)-(no more than 1 page). You must also provide a credible link to the artists work. Unfortunately, you cannot post images, so the link you provide should take a reader/viewer directly to a site that displays the artists most famous artwork. As always, you cannot repeat information on an artists selected already. I do not anticipate any issues with that.
